Chapter 217 Seafood! Eat as much as you want!
When Lin Yu first saw the commotion in the woodshed, he was just surprised.
But after hearing what Zhuangtou said, surprise turned into boundless anger.
"What did you mean by that? Explain it to me clearly!"
He turned around and kowtowed, "It was me... I poisoned Madam's food, which is why Madam's health gradually deteriorated. That's why she fainted from the Master's anger, and ended up like this. After the Master left, Madam was bedridden, and I... I started secretly selling Madam's dowry. It's all my fault! I'm willing to die, please kill me!"
He is really in so much pain!
Now every day of his life is a pain for him.
But he himself did not have the courage to commit suicide.
He no longer expects forgiveness or pardon for his life, but only hopes that the young master can grant him death.
The village head, who was prostrating himself on the ground, didn't notice that Lin Yu's face had become extremely gloomy, and his hands were clenched into fists. He was looking at him as if he were a dead person.
After a long time, Lin Yu slowly spoke, "Tell me, who asked you to do this? Who gave you the poison?"
A village head would never have such courage, let alone get such poison. There must be someone manipulating all this behind the scenes.
The village head trembled, but did not speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yu's eyes became even colder. "If you don't tell me, not only will you not die, but your situation will even be worse than it is now. Do you believe it?"
The village head's body shook again.
Of course he believed it.
Lin Yu, a spoiled young master who grew up, is not good at either literature or martial arts, but he is capable of dealing with people.
"Yes...it's Miss Li'er."
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Zhuangtou seemed to have all his strength drained away and he collapsed to the ground.
Lin Yu’s eyes widened instantly.
"This is impossible! Li'er couldn't possibly do this!"
The reason he said this was not because he was so sure, but...
He didn't want to believe that Li'er would do this.
How could Li'er do this!
His mother is Li'er's grandmother!
Even if there is no blood relationship between them.
Even if a rift arose between the two later.
But the feelings we've had for so many years are still there!
How could Li'er, such a young child, do such a thing?
Lin Yu suddenly squatted down, grabbed the clothes on the chest of the village head tightly, and squeezed out words from between his teeth.
"Tell me, who gave you the poison? Why did you frame Li'er?
Zhuangtou was almost scared to tears, his body shaking violently, but he did not change his words.
"Really...it's really her!"
"After she arrived at the farm, she secretly found me and struck a deal with me!"
"It's come to this, there's really no need for me to lie anymore, sir!"
Of course Lin Yu knew that Zhuangtou had no reason to lie, but he still didn't want to believe it was true.
After gritting his teeth for a long time, Lin Yu finally found his voice and asked, "Why did you listen to her?"
This was my mother's dowry, and the village head had lived on this farm for most of his life. Why would he rather murder my mother than listen to Li'er?
"Because she poisoned me first!"
"If I don't obey her, I'll die!"
"I don't want to do this either! But I have no choice! I just don't want to die!"
After Zhuangtou finished speaking, a grown man in his forties suddenly burst into tears.
Even when seeing Zhuangtou crying like this, Lin Yu did not feel the slightest sympathy or soft-heartedness.
He loosened Zhuangtou's clothes, slowly stood up, and looked down at Zhuangtou with cold eyes without any emotion.
"Who are the two people who have locked you up here? What did they say and do to you?"
In order to survive, Zhuangtou dared to poison his mother. It is absolutely impossible for him to have a change of heart and suddenly admit everything he has done.
Those two who had locked him up here must have done something.
He wanted to know who those two people were!
Zhuangtou seemed to have thought of something terrible, and his body was shaking even more violently.
"They...they tortured me in every way possible, making my life worse than death. They said that if I didn't admit what I had done to you, they would make me live in this pain for the rest of my life, and they would also make my wife and children suffer the same torture."
After saying that, he turned his head and closed his eyes in pain.
He did such a thing, so he died.
But he didn't want his family to die with him!
The village head kowtowed several times before he raised his head and looked at Lin Yu eagerly.
"Master, everyone has their own responsibility. This whole thing was done by me from beginning to end. My family has nothing to do with it. Please don't make things difficult for them. Even if...even if you have to sell them into slavery, as long as you can save their lives!"
At the end of his speech, he turned around, fell to the ground and burst into tears.
If he had known that things would end up like this, he should not have listened to Lin Ruoli.
The worst that can happen is death!
If I die at that time, I won't bring trouble to my family...
"hehe."
Lin Yu sneered.
"Now, you're asking me to spare your family. Have you ever considered that my mother is the only family I have now?"
Without waiting for the village head to say anything, Lin Yu turned around and walked out.
"Close the door and keep it safe. If he runs away or dies, you won't survive!"
"yes!"
The door slammed shut, and the room became dark again.
Zhuangtou didn't know whether Lin Yu would forgive his family, but he could do nothing now and could only wait here.
The village head leaned dejectedly against the firewood, his eyes full of regret.
He cried at first, then soon started laughing, but this smile sounded very strange.
Lin Yu, who had not walked far, heard his crying, but did not stop and there was no emotion on his face.
You only know how to cry now?
Too late!
Just pear...
Why did she do that?
-
A small seaside town.
It's just the end of the first month of the year, and it should be very cold in the capital of Dayong at this time.
But this small town is already very hot.
It's even hotter than the capital of Nanzhao.
Many of the men coming and going are shirtless.
Although women are not so exaggerated, they are still wearing cool gauze on the outside.
Not only are the clothes cooler, but the styles are also very different.
Compared to them, Yu Youning and the others who had just arrived here were dressed in a way that was a bit too strange.
But soon, the carriage stopped in front of a clothing store.
After getting off the carriage, they went straight into the clothing shop.
Huo Qingchen thought they were here to buy clothes, but as soon as he walked into the store, he saw the shopkeeper jogging towards him, with an extremely excited expression on his face, and his teeth were showing when he smiled.
"Young Island Master! Miss Youning, you are finally back!"
"I haven't seen you for over two years. Miss Youning is prettier and cuter than before. She looks like a grown-up girl now!"
"Young Island Master and Miss You Youning are coming back to the island this time, right?"
Listening to the other party's series of words, Yu Tingwan smiled happily, "Uncle Zhang, after such a long time, you haven't changed at all!"
Yu Youning nodded in agreement, "Mom is right! Grandpa Zhang is still as talkative as before!"
"Youning, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Tingwan said to Yu Youning in an angry tone.
Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head. "Young Island Master, please don't blame Miss Youning. I'm so happy to hear what Miss Youning said! Miss Youning was only two years old when she passed away. I thought she didn't remember me, but not only did she remember me, she remembered me so clearly. She even remembered my favorite words!"
Shopkeeper Zhang became more and more excited as he spoke, his face flushed with excitement and he almost danced with joy.
Yu Tingwan said helplessly, "Uncle Zhang..."
Is this something to be happy about?
However, seeing that Shopkeeper Zhang was about to smile like a flower, Yu Tingwan didn't say anything more on this topic.
Uncle Zhang also realized that Yu Tingwan and the others were wearing too much, and hurriedly said, "Young Island Master, you should go to the backyard and rest for a while. I'll have someone prepare water for you to bathe and then prepare clothes for you. After you're changed, we'll go to dinner next door! You've been away from home for so long, you must miss our food!"
Listening to his arrangements, Yu Tingwan nodded, "Okay, then let's do as Uncle Zhang says!"
Several people came to the backyard and were quickly led into different rooms.
Wash up and change clothes.
When Yu Youning came out again, she had changed into a green skirt.
It is still a chest-length skirt, but the material is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the sleeves only reach the elbows.
In the sunlight, you can clearly see the tiny flashes of light on the clothes.
It's not that something is sprinkled on it, but that natural silk is added during the weaving process.
The cloth woven in this way is not only cool and breathable, but also has an ethereal air, making people fall in love with it at first sight and even unable to take their eyes off it.
Her hair was tied with a green ribbon with a few pearls at the end.
As she bounced, the pearls slid up and down in the air.
Chu Huaixu watched this scene intently and felt that Yu Youning was like a little fairy.
But soon, the little fairy held a shrimp bigger than her palm in one hand and shook it proudly.
"Ah Xu, look, is this shrimp big?"
Chu Huai prefaces, "...big."
Yu Youning put down one of the shrimps, pulled off the head of the other one, and peeled the shell very skillfully and quickly. Then he began to eat it with relish.
The shrimp meat is crispy and delicious.
There is no need for any complicated cooking method. Just cook it like this and dip it in the sauce and it will be very delicious.
Chu Huaixu was still staring at Yu Youning, but Huo Qingchen had already started eating like Yu Youning.
Huo Qingchen took a big bite of shrimp meat and felt extremely satisfied.
No wonder Youning enjoyed the meal so much!
It’s really delicious!
"Youning, you were so lucky before! You could eat these every day!" Huo Qingchen said enviously.
Yu Youning waved her hand with great generosity, "Just eat as much as you want! Eat as much as you want! Eat as long as you want!"
